Soft Black

Biography

“The Earth is Black,” the second LP from the NY folk-rock band led by singer/songwriter Vincent Cacchione, was written during a seven month period when the songwriters notorious sleeplessness was at its worst. Recalling vivid scenes and ideas from his nightmares, Cacchione cautiously turned these nocturnal symbols into pop and poetry. The album’s song cycle reveals a tension between the dark nature of its words and the deceptively light nature of its melodies. The end result is a collection of songs that are as hypnotic as they are manic. The album is full of dark and brooding rock/pop with Soft Black’s ever-changing sound.
